Inca Trail to Machu Picchu Operators

All companies in charge to operate Classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu must be certified by the Peruvian Government specifically by “Ministerio de Agricultura”. The especial license is issued annually every December. There are currently 188 registered operators (2015), with new agencies springing up each year. Many of these companies, however, may only operate a trek a couple of times a month during the high season and these treks are mainly private groups for overseas tour companies.

Before you hurriedly sign up with any agency, it’s vital to comprehend some things about the industry. The most important thing is that not all agencies are licensed tour operators. There are two types of companies that will try and sell you an Inca trail package: registered tour operators and middle men, otherwise known as endosars. The registered tour operators are a small quantity that run, sell, and operate their own Inca trail tours.
